The nation&#x27;s highest military court has reversed the aggravated assault conviction of a Kansas airman accused of exposing multiple sex partners to HIV. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces unanimously ruled Monday that prosecutors failed to prove that any of (the) acts were likely to transmit HIV to his partners. The court upheld for &#x22;offensive touching to which his sexual partners did not provide meaningful informed consent&#x22;. It also upheld his conviction for adultery, even though his wife participated.Stars and Stripeshttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3260791/posts#commentTue, 24 Feb 2015 01:34:34 GMT&#x27;Psychic&#x27; faces trial in murder he predicted of young motherhttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3253049/posts
